November 2022 in “Journal of Nanobiotechnology” This study developed a scalable and high-throughput method for producing an injectable composite system combining platelet-rich plasma (PRP), cell-laden microcarriers, and hydrogels for hair follicle (HF) tissue engineering. The system, tested both in vitro and in vivo, significantly enhanced dermal papilla cell (DPC) proliferation, migration, and HF regeneration. In vivo experiments on mice showed that PRP-loaded microcarriers accelerated hair cycle transition and increased new hair follicle formation, with ~35 HFs and ~12 vessels per site. The findings suggest that this composite system could be a promising approach for treating hair loss and promoting hair growth through sustained release of growth factors and a conducive microenvironment.
October 2022 in “Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology” This study investigates bioengineered polyester nanoparticles (NPs) coated with dermal papilla cell membranes for treating androgenic alopecia (AGA).

The cell membrane coating enhances biocompatibility and targeted drug delivery to hair follicles. In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that these NPs effectively penetrated skin, released drugs in a controlled manner, and significantly promoted hair growth in a mouse model, suggesting a promising therapeutic approach for AGA.
